LOCKING CUTTINGHEAD
IN THE DOWN POSITION
When transporting the miter saw, the cuttinghead should always be locked in the down position. This can be accomplished by lowering the cuttinghead (A) Fig. 16, and pushing pin (B) until other end of pin (B) engages with hole in cutting arm. IMPORTANT: NEVER CARRY
THE MITER SAW BY THE SWITCH HANDLE OR TABLE CONTROL HANDLE AS THIS MAY CAUSE MISALIGNMENT. ALWAYS LIFT THE MACHINE BY THE BASE OR CARRYING HANDLE.
REAR SUPPORT/
CARRYING HANDLE
A rear support bar (A) Fig. 17, is provided to prevent the miter saw from tipping to the rear when the cuttinghead is returned to the up position after a cut has been made. For maximum support the bar (A) should be pulled out as far as possible.
The support bar (A) also acts as a carrying handle, as shown in Fig. 18, when transporting the saw.

ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING DOWNWARD
TRAVEL OF SAW BLADE
The downward travel of the saw blade can be limited to prevent the saw blade from contacting any metal sur- faces of the machine.
Before adjusting downward travel, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SOURCE and lower the blade as far as possible. Rotate the blade by hand to make certain the teeth do not contact any metal sur- faces.This adjustment is made by loosening lock nut (A) Fig. 19, and turning the adjusting screw (B) in or out until the blade lowers to the desired position. Then tighten lock nut (A).
